Go with the S3
All things being equal when chipped there ant to much in it, although the S4 kicks out 30-40 bhp more when you add the extra lard they do the quarter mile within .06 seconds of each other.....

However the S3 still has petrol left in the tank

I really wanted an S3 then i went for the S4 at the last minute. interesting in standard form the s3 is slightly quicker round Nurburgring.

I'm glad i went for the S4 though when standard it's hard to describe it as a drivers car, sort the suspension and brakes and your are a map away from a truly great car.

I'd hazard a guess that the standard S3 would be more fun than a standard S4 but not as good to drive across Europe.
